La Salle Correctional Center Overview
La Salle Correctional Center and TWP is located in Olla and is listed by Louisiana DPS&C under La Salle Parish local jails. The 2022 PREA audit identifies it as a private, for-profit jail operated by LaSalle Corrections, also named in the audit as LaSalle Management Company, LLC. The TWP label means transitional work program, a custody setting tied to work-release or reentry-oriented placement for eligible people, while the correctional center side also holds state and county agency inmates.
This facility is not the small sheriff jail at the courthouse. Its scale, operator, population, and lookup path are different. The PREA audit says the facility held male adults, with minimum and medium custody classifications, and served people for state and county correctional or detention agencies. Because custody can come through different agencies, a name search may require more than one channel before the location is confirmed.
La Salle Correctional Center Population
The strongest sourced population figures for La Salle Correctional Center and TWP come from the 2022 PREA audit. That audit lists a designated capacity of 757, a population of 710 at the audit point, a 12-month average daily population of 667, and 23 housing units. It also says the age range for the male adult population was 18 to 76. Vera's facility dataset separately lists capacity at 755, so the PREA figure should be treated as the more direct facility-audit value.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Housing units | 23 | 2022 PREA audit |
| Custody level | Minimum and medium | 2022 PREA audit |
| Population served | State and county agency inmates | 2022 PREA audit |
| Program type | Transitional work program included | DPS&C listing and facility name |
La Salle Correctional Center Lookup
A La Salle Correctional Center inmate search can be less direct than a Jena jail search because the Olla facility houses people for more than one custody stream. Louisiana DPS&C and LA VINE are important starting points when a person has been sentenced, transferred, or placed in a local contract bed. The sheriff roster remains useful for recent parish bookings, but it should not be assumed to list every person housed in the Olla facility.
- Search Louisiana VINE by name, ID or case number, and location when available.
- If the person was recently arrested in La Salle Parish, also check the sheriff Inmate Search and weekly arrest reports.
- Call La Salle Correctional Center and TWP to confirm whether the person is housed there before arranging a visit or mail.
- Ask which agency controls release, transfer, visitation approval, and money deposits for that person's custody status.
- Use ICE ODLS or BOP only if the custody is immigration or federal criminal custody rather than Louisiana state or local custody.
For a person who started in the parish jail and then moved after sentencing, La Salle Parish jail inmate records may show the early booking path while Louisiana VINE or facility staff may show the later custody location. A search should follow the person from arrest to transfer, rather than assuming one roster stays current at all stages.
La Salle Correctional Center Contact
The facility has its own address and phone line in Olla. The Louisiana Sheriffs' Association profile and related parish contact sources also tie the parish prison phone and fax to this Olla number set. Use the facility directly for current housing, visitation status, mail rules, and agency-specific restrictions. Use the sheriff Records & Bonds contact only when the question concerns a La Salle Parish arrest, bond, or sheriff record.

La Salle Correctional Center Visits
Official public visitation hours for La Salle Correctional Center and TWP were not located in the research file. The PREA audit confirms facility details, but it does not provide a public schedule for family visits, video visits, visitor application steps, or dress code. Because the facility houses different agency populations, one person's visit rules may depend on the custody authority as well as the facility's local rules.
| Visit Item | Published Status | Best Contact |
|---|---|---|
| Family visit schedule | Not located in official public sources | Facility main line |
| Legal visits | Schedule not located | Facility main line or placing agency |
| Video visits | Vendor not located | Ask facility before booking |
| Visitor approval | Public form not located | Ask whether agency approval is required |
Call before traveling to Olla. Ask whether the person is eligible for visits, what ID is accepted, whether children may visit, how early to arrive, and whether any property can be brought inside. Facility rules can change by housing unit, disciplinary status, agency contract, or emergency condition.
La Salle Correctional Center Money
LaSalle Corrections publishes general information about commissary and phone services, but the research did not locate a La Salle Correctional Center-specific rate table or deposit fee schedule. The general commissary page describes access to items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing instruments. The general phone-services page describes portable phones and account funding by family, friends, or earned credits, but it does not give Olla-specific rates in the reviewed material.
| Service | Documented Detail | Unresolved Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mail | Facility address is known | Exact inmate mail format not located |
| Commissary | LaSalle Corrections confirms general commissary use | Facility fee table not located |
| Phone service | General portable phone/account model described | Rates and vendor terms not located |
| Money deposits | Funding by family/friends described generally | Deposit vendor and fees not located |
La Salle Correctional Center Intake
Intake at La Salle Correctional Center and TWP should be described as facility admission or transfer, not as a street-arrest booking counter. A person may arrive after parish booking, after sentencing to DPS&C custody, through a county agency placement, or as part of transitional work program movement. Classification then decides where the person is housed and which program or security rules apply.
The 2022 PREA audit's minimum and medium custody language is important because it shows the Olla facility's role as a managed correctional setting with multiple housing units. The TWP portion should be explained plainly: transitional work programs are designed for eligible incarcerated people who may be moving toward work-release or reentry, subject to agency and facility rules. The public research did not locate a detailed eligibility handbook, so no one should assume a person qualifies for work release merely because the facility name includes TWP.
Note: Confirm the person's custody authority before sending mail, money, or visit requests to the Olla facility.
La Salle Correctional Center Operator
LaSalle Corrections is the private operator named in the PREA material for La Salle Correctional Center and TWP. The facility should be described as a private local jail and transitional work program facility, not as a Louisiana state prison and not as the sheriff's courthouse jail. Louisiana DPS&C does not list a state prison physically in La Salle Parish, but state prisoners can be housed in local facilities or local contract beds, which makes Louisiana VINE the better search path after transfer or sentencing.
The research did not locate a current public facility handbook, detailed visit policy, commissary fee table, or program eligibility sheet for the Olla facility. Those are source gaps to preserve rather than fill with generic jail rules. When a fact is not posted, the reliable next step is to call the facility and ask for the rule tied to the person's housing unit and agency status.
